Chapter 23 Raid

"So, is it the Kazar conspiracy?"

"Well, there is no one else except them. At present, we can only infer that this conspiracy involves a witch... I guess it should be that they kidnapped a witch. Otherwise, we should be able to find blood on the scene. But there is no blood, and there is no trace of magical battle."

"You mean...they caught a witch and forced her to join them...to serve them?"

“The possibility is very high.”

"But if a witch joins... it's not a special threat." Chaos champion said. "And considering that the witch is unwilling to work hard for them at all."

"Yes, that's true. If this witch appears on the battlefield as a spellcaster, she will be at most trouble. But, I'm worried, they will have other uses for this newly obtained ally." The wizard replied. "Some more cunning... more dangerous uses."

"A Witch." The Chaos Champion repeated. In most cases, a wizard is a very valuable force to any force.

"A witch who can be an abandoned son." The wizard emphasized the word "abandoned son". "He was held hostage and forced to join them..."

...

At noon the next day, Claire's carriage met the patrol troops wandering the hunter tribe.

The whole situation is similar to the last time I bought salt. When the other party saw the car, his first reaction was to surround him. When they saw a clear look at the three people in the car, they were dressed as a witch of senesia, and their thoughts of robbing were half gone. As Asovin had inferred before: When a tribe sends a precious wizard to trade with you, it usually means that the tribe is quite powerful and you can't afford to offend.

Not to mention that at this moment, the Wandering Hunter Tribe is fully preparing for a war with its old enemy. At this time, provoking a powerful enemy that has nothing to do is undoubtedly an extremely stupid thing.

Except for the witch, the other two people looked unpretentious. The old man was clearly a slave to drive, and although the other young man was a bit tough, he was not wearing Chaos Armor. This meant that he was only a plunderer at most. However, a witch was enough.

The captain, who was the plunderer, finally made the right choice. After learning about the other party's purpose in a few words, they sent the foreign trade team all the way to the tribe. As mentioned earlier, the Wandering Hunter Tribe is preparing for war, which means that the loss of weapons is inevitable, and it is a good thing to be able to obtain some metal.

The vehicle entered the camp of the hunter tribe, but, unlike the last time, no small leader came to reach a deal quickly with Claire. On the contrary, they were hung up in a arranged tent for a long time. Then, someone came to inform that the wizards in the tribe would come to meet the "witch who came to trade". So, please wait patiently for a little more time.

Claire was immediately stunned.

Unfortunately, although she was wearing witch costumes, she actually didn't even have a little magic. As long as the wizard wanted to verify her identity - that is, to drive a little magic energy at will - she would definitely reveal it.

Her trade journey was originally just relying on paper tigers to scare people. If she couldn't scare her... Well, she guessed that 70% of her might be slaughtered on the spot, and the remaining 30% would be slaughtered again every few days.

"What should I do?" She asked Ashu Rufate for help with her eyes. Claire dared not speak because there were guards standing guard outside their tents. If they said something, there was a high possibility that the guards would hear it.

"The tribe is orderly and morale is high," Ashrufate said in a very light voice. "It seems that they have great confidence in the future war... Is that Kazar tribe really led by a Chaos Lord?"

"What should we do next?!" Claire was almost angry. At this time, Ashu Rufate had time to care about these ghost things. The wizard would definitely expose her disguise!

"Calm down!" Ashu Rufate made a "shhh" gesture, and then asked in a very light voice "What are you worried about?"

"They will find out!" Claire replied in an equally light voice. She was half angry and half worried.

"Anyway, we can't escape. Since that's the case, what's the use of being so panicked?" Ashu Rufat whispered. Before Claire's anger escalated, he made a gesture. "Don't worry, it's okay."

"It's okay? You mean... the wizards won't come. They're lying? But what's the point?"

"Do you think the wizards in the tribe will bargain for such small-scale trade?" Asu Ruffat asked. The last time they went to buy salt, the other party only had a small leader, a small leader who was not even a genuine Chaos Warrior. Originally, this was the case in the Chaos Tribe. This small-scale trade was only a small matter, and the top leaders in the tribe disdained to do such humble things. "There will not be more than two wizards in the Safari tribe at most." He said.

This is the information I received before. This news is reliable because there is only one wizard in the Safari tribe, that is, the Kazar tribe. If there is one more wizard in the Safari tribe, then the balance of strength between the two sides will undoubtedly be broken - both sides have decided a victory or defeat long ago.

Even in the chaotic world, even if there is a Tsengqi who claims to have endless knowledge and insight into all magical mysteries, the number of magicians is still so rare. Within the scope of the seven central countries, a powerful magician is worth a large group of heavy cavalry. In the chaotic realm, a powerful wizard can also become an important force on the battlefield.

"Probably not." Claire calmed down. "But he should be here to confirm my identity... I mean no matter why he came to me, he would confirm my identity."

"Only half the possibility." Ashu Rufate corrected. "Half possibility is worth a bet, isn't it? I guess he mainly wants to know if our tribe can help... help in this war in the future. If he doubts your witch's identity, then we will not be waiting in such a spacious and comfortable place."

Maybe it was Ash Rufate's words that made sense, or maybe it was just his confidence that infected Claire. At least Claire calmed down again. "By the way, I have something." She suddenly said. Then, she found a brooch from herself. This was a beautiful ornament inlaid with gems that Ash Rufate didn't recognize, and could only guess it was a high-purity crystal.

Although it is weak, you can feel that this jewelry has the power of magical wind.

"This is one of my mother's relics," said Claire. "What she made should be a magic item. If it could be powered by it, maybe I could pretend to be a little more like it. But after she died, I don't know how to use this thing."

"Yes, it is a magic item." Ashu Rufate immediately recognized it. This is a very ordinary magic item, which can keep the body clothes clean and avoid dust. In terms of magic skills, it is an ordinary level. However, magic items are magic items after all, and are of extraordinary value. Claire has always treasured this thing before, so as not to attract unnecessary covetition.

He touched it with his fingers and the power of the brooch was sealed. However, neither the magical skills of making the brooch itself nor the magic that seals its abilities were complicated. Ashu Rufate could easily unseal it.

"Do you know how it is used?"

"I've seen something similar," Ash Rufate said casually. "Wear it on your chest and it will automatically work after a short period of time." He did not say that this thing was sealed before, and was just unsealed by him. High-end magic items usually have some kind of switch, which allows users who are not magicians to easily activate their power. However, low-end magic items, such as this brooch, do not have such switches. If they are not magicians, they cannot turn on and off their power.

Claire put the brooch on with doubt.

Not much time, dense footsteps came. Then, a man who looked forty or fifty years old, with a short stature and bald tattoo came to Claire with a few followers.

Even fools can guess that this one is the wizard who wanders in the Hunter tribe.

The wizard looked at Claire and hesitated for a moment - this was the first time he saw such a young witch of Slaanesh. However, in the magic industry, he never paid attention to qualifications, but only strength. So he just hesitated for a moment and immediately welcomed him politely.

The next sentence was almost nutritious. The wizard tried to find out some information from Claire. However, in this regard, Claire, or Asovin, had already made preparations. Claire pretended to be a powerful tribe. To be more specific, it was a detachment sent by this tribe. A detachment carrying out the mission encountered the trouble of food being exhausted, so he used some of the spoils from the war to exchange for food. This is a logically complete excuse. To be honest, as long as there is no breakup, the truth and falsehood of this matter cannot be proofreaded at all.

Although the wizard of the Safari tribe had a bit of Ajin's style, Claire was very determined. She repeatedly insisted on her first words and said no extra words. This completely failed the opponent's plan. In the end, the wizard showed a look of "just talk about this", saying that he had other things to be busy with and had to say goodbye first. As for the price of trade between the two sides, he did not mention it at all during the entire conversation, and Claire would naturally not be stupid enough to take the initiative to say it.

Claire naturally breathed a sigh of relief. She wanted to leave and naturally would not stop the other party from leaving. In fact, although the other party was just asking questions, it had already put a lot of psychological pressure on her.

"By the way, Ms. Clay." The wizard had just walked to the door and suddenly turned around. "I have something here, I don't know if you know it." After speaking, he took out a crown that was usually worn by a woman and placed it on the table in the middle of the tent.

Claire recognized it at a glance. It was her head crown - one of her mother's relics. However, before, she had sold the head crown to the wizard Asovin - and Asovin seemed to have given this thing to a woman again.

The wizard smiled. His surprise attack took effect. This is also a kind of negotiation skills. First, pretend to say goodbye to relax the other party's nervous mood. Then, in this brief moment of relaxation, he took out his strongest blow. This technique is clever and difficult to prevent, and now it proves this again.

There was no need for anything else. From the expression of the witch who called herself Claire, he could tell that the other party knew this thing.

He only learned from the oracle yesterday about a conspiracy against the safari tribe, and this conspiracy may involve a Slaanesia witch. Today, a Slaanesia witch came to ask for trade. No matter how stupid a person is, he will instinctively feel that there is any connection between the two, let alone a Chaos wizard.
